Erklärung: Just war? Justice and Peace Commission of the Holy Land (30. Juni 2024)

Aus der aktuellen Erklärung (PDF) hier zwei Zitate:

“As Catholics in the Holy Land, who share .. (the) vision for a peaceful world, we are outraged that political actors in Israel and abroad are mobilizing the theory of “just war” in order to perpetuate and legitimate the ongoing war in Gaza. … Though we are a small community in the Holy Land as Catholics we are an integral part of this land’s identity. We wish to make it clear that we, and our theological tradition, must not be used in order to justify this violence. The witness that we bring is not one of war, but one of transformational love, one of freedom and equality, one of justice and peace, one of dialogue and reconciliation”.
